🇸🇾 What is happening in Syria?
Situation for September 27 - October 1, 2023
▪️ In Trans-Euphrates, fighting continues between the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Arab tribal militias.
The rebels released a statement denying involvement with any political force. They also accused the Kurds of colluding with the government in Damascus with the Iranians and refusing to fight against them.
In this case, one can even believe in the sincerity of the motives of the Arab clans: they receive nothing from the oil of Trans-Euphrates, just like from the Kurdish strangers who occupied these lands and established their own order.
▪️ In the south, in Druze Es-Suwayda, protests against the difficult socio-economic situation continue, during which even flags of the Syrian opposition have been seen.
There is no need to look for deep meaning in this - the Druze do not care about the problems of regions with Sunni or other populations. But the situation again demonstrates that the government has lost control over the situation in the province and is actually acting as an observer.
▪️ Early in the morning of October 1, Israel carried out further strikes on Syria. Explosions occurred in Al-Dimas and near the Mezze airbase, and Syrian air defense went off near Damascus. The results of the attack remain unknown, just like the objects of the raids themselves, the military expediency of which has long been questioned.
▪️ The United States reported on a joint operation with the Kurds in northeast Syria to capture the coordinator of the Islamic State, Mamdouh Ibrahim al-Hajji. Similar raids with the capture of various ISIS functionaries take place regularly and do not seriously affect the general background.
In general, the situation in Syria is the same: although there are no large-scale military operations, constant protests and local clashes have become commonplace.
The country is increasingly reminiscent of a powder keg, where one spark can provoke a war not between the usual parties to the conflict, but all against all.

🇺🇸 Teenagers are now facing charges after doing a ding-dong ditch prank with a twist. They showed up in masks, wearing tactical gear and a rifle, or what looks like a rifle.
Two #Delaware teenagers, aged 16 and 17, faced charges after knocking on doors in New Castle while wearing tactical-style vests and carrying what appeared to be a rifle, police said.
This could’ve ended so badly..

📝 🇪🇺 🇫🇷 Mario Nawfal on X: Europe's riots are just the beginning. The real economic shock hasn't even arrived yet.
I spoke with economist Philip Pilkington about the unrest spreading across France, Italy and Albania.
He thinks we're watching the early stages of something much bigger.
One statistic really caught my attention.
According to Pilkington, France's inflation-adjusted household food consumption has fallen roughly 6.4% since 2022. He suspects the poorest households have suffered far steeper cuts.
Now add another surge in energy prices.
Pilkington pointed to rice futures rising 70% this year, wheat and sugar climbing 40%, and fertilizer shortages threatening next year's harvest.
His prediction is that the worst food inflation could arrive this winter or next spring.
And there's a political problem sitting right on top of it.
Governments across Europe are already deeply unpopular. People are struggling to afford basic necessities, and another prolonged energy ...
